All I can say is sorry. I can't really DO anything about it. I'm doing my best to get this fic
finished A.S.A.P. Also, thanks to those of you who reviewed. I really appreciate it! So,
here's chapter 11!

Recap:
"I'll see you later." Syaoran said.
"Okay." she said. She placed a sweet kiss on his lips. "Bye, Syaoran."
she said while
entering her house.
"Bye, Suki." he said. After she closed the door, he walked back to his
car, started it and
drove home. Along the way, all Syaoran could think about was getting
Sakura to go to
prom with him. All weekend long, he had been hoping that Sakura would
tell him what
he had been wanting to hear. On Sunday night, he drifted off to sleep
with one girl and
one hope on his mind.

King of Hearts- Chapter 11
By: Sapphie
------------
// Monday morning \\
Syaoran could not help but think about what Sakura had to say. He was
confident that
Sakura wanted to ask him out. Why else would she tell him she broke
up with Blake? He
closed his locker and walked to his class. He was standing at the doorway
when he saw
Sakura at her desk. He calmly walked into the room and was heading
towards Sakura
when suddenly, the teacher arrived.
"Okay. Everyone take your seats now! We have a lot to do today." the
teacher said. Just
his luck. Right when he was about to talk to her, the teacher arrives
and gets in the way.
Syaoran reluctantly sat in his seat. During the class, all he could
think about was what
Sakura had to say. It sucked being him. This was the only class he
had with her until after
lunch. He knew he wouldn't get a chance to talk to her until lunch
or until the next class
he has with her. Syaoran glanced up from his notebook and looked at
the clock. There
was still 35 minutes left in the 40 minute class.
'Could this class go any slower?' he thought. Suddenly, he felt a familiar
poke in the
back. He turned slightly to see Tomoyo with a note in her hand. He
extended his arm
behind him to take the note from her. After he got the note, he carefully
opened it and
read it.
Hey Syaoran. What's up? I was going to wait until lunch to ask
you, but I just couldn't wait! Did Sakura tell you what she had
to say yet?
Syaoran wrote back.
No. I haven't had the chance to talk to her yet. I really want to
know what
she had to say.
Awww. That sucks. But I can see that you are very determined
to find out. I don't know why you're denying the fact that you
like her.
After reading what Tomoyo wrote, he felt his heart skip a beat and he
felt himself turn red
in the face.
No. I don't like her! We've already been through this.
Tomoyo giggled after reading what he wrote.
Okay. If you say so...
Syaoran folded the note into a small square and threw it into his bag.
'I can't believe Tomoyo. She actually thinks I like her? She's
out of her mind. She
doesn't know me as well as I thought she did. I am not denying anything.
I have no idea
what she is talking about.' Syaoran thought.
He glanced at the clock. 15 minutes since Tomoyo passed the note went
by. 20 minutes in
the class left. He already knew it. It was gonna be a long day. Syaoran
reluctantly took
notes and waited for the time to pass. After what felt like an hour,
the bell rang. Syaoran
breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the class was over! He was about
to go talk to Sakura,
but decided against it. There might not be enough time to talk. Instead,
he walked toward
his next class.
Feeling weary, he dragged himself to the last three classes of the morning.
After those
classes, it would be lunch. After what seemed like hours of suffering,
the lunch bell
finally rang. While walking to his locker, he was going over what he
had to do during
lunch. First thing he had to do was see Suki. When he got to his locker,
he put his books
away. Soon after, he headed for Tsukishiro Academy to meet up with
Suki. As expected,
she was waiting for him at the entrance of her school. He smiled as
he walked towards
her. He smiled as he walked towards her. She, too, smiled at him. Not
too far away from
her, he could see some other girls waiting with her. Friends, he assumed.
As he was
walking towards her, the other girls behind her began to giggle and
blush.
"Hey, Suki." he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Hi, Syaoran." Suki said while wrapping her arms around his waist. Syaoran
smiled and
drew her closer to him. With that, he placed a kiss on Suki's lips.
As they pulled way,
they smiled at each other. Soon enough, Suki's friends simultaneously
said,
"Awwwwwwww!!" Syaoran let out smirk. He turned to the girls.
"Hello, ladies. I'm Syaoran." he said, introducing himself to Suki's friends.
"Hiiiiiii!!!" they all said girlishly. Syaoran chuckled. He turned back to Suki.
"I hate to tell you this, but I can only stay for 15 minutes. I have
a soccer meeting to go
to."
"Awwwww." Suki's friends said with disappointment. Suki sweatdropped,
making a face
as if to say 'these aren't my friends.' Syaoran just smiled.
"So, you wanna walk down the block and back while I'm still here?"
"I'd love to." she said with a smile. With that said, he took hold of
her hand and led her
though the mob of girls. As soon as Suki's friends were out of hearing
range, Syaoran let
out a laugh.
"Are they always like that?" he asked, trying to contain his laughter.
Suki let out a
chuckle.
"Unfortunately....yes." she said with a hint of embarrassment. Suki
and Syaoran took a
seat on a bench. "Do girls always fall for you?" she asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" he said while leaning in towards
Suki. Soon,
their lips met. Syaoran then pulled away and looked at Suki. Suki looked
and him and
couldn't help but smile.
"I guess they do." she said softly. Syaoran turned in his seat so that he was facing Suki.
"So," he said. "What do you wanna do for the next ten minutes?" She
shrugged her
shoulders.
"I don't know."
"Well...what are you doing tonight?" he asked, trying to spark a conversation.
"Nothing, really."
"Then...how 'bout I come see you tonight at your place?"
"Sure. That sounds good."
"Okay. I'll be at your place at 8 p.m. How's that?"
"Great." she said. "Now, come here." Suddenly, Syaoran found Suki's
lips on his. She
had pulled him in for a kiss. Not caring what she was doing, he kissed
her back, pulling
her close to him.
Although he held no real liking to her, he had to admit that she was
a really good kisser. It
was obvious that she's had lots of practice with tons of ex-boyfriends.
He had already
figured that she was a lot like him...she was a player. She was a strong
girl. She wasn't
weak like other girls, who would typically gossip to their girl friends
about the latest guy
they went out with. They might think they're strong, but in the end,
they realize they're
really weak. When the guy they're trying to play plays them,
they break down and
cry and beg the guy to stay with them. If they were a real player,
they could care less
about what the guy does. Syaoran always found wannabe players very
pitiful. He then
wondered if Suki knew that he was a player, but soon dismissed the
question.
With the both of them being lost in their little makeout session, it
took them a while to
notice that a cell phone was ringing. They slowly pulled away. Recognizing
his ring tone,
Syaoran got his cell out of his bag and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Syaoran." Tomoyo said.
"Hey." he said.
"Come back to school. Someone by the name of Sakura wants to
tell you something."
she said. As soon as he heard Sakura's name, he seemed to snap back
to reality.
"Okay. I'll be there soon." he said. He then hung up. "Well, Suki. I gotta go."
"Oh yeah. Your soccer meeting, right?"
"What soccer meeting?" he asked. Suki raised an eyebrow.
"The one you said you had to go to today?"
Syaoran thought for a moment. Suddenly, it hit him. He remembered now.
He made up
the excuse of having a soccer meeting so he could leave sooner.
"Oh yeeeaaaahhh. That soccer meeting. Sorry. Your sweet kisses
made me forget
that I had a meeting." he said.
Suki smiled and blushed a bit. They stood up and walked back to their
schools. When
they reached Suki's school, he left her with a kiss.
"I'll see you tonight." he said.
"Okay," she said. "Bye."
Soon, they both parted their own ways. As Suki walked into her school,
she was greeted
by her friends.
"Hey, Suki." her friend, Mika, greeted.
"Hey." Suki replied.
"You know, Suki.....you snagged a real hottie. I mean, he has a beautiful
face, great hair,
a hot body, and a nice ass!!"
All the girls burst out in laughter and completely agreed with Mika.
"I know." Suki said with a huge grin on her face.
"So, are you guys gonna stay a couple for long?" Mika asked.
"No, we're not gonna stay together much longer." Suki said matter-of-factly.
"How do you know?"
"He's like me. We're both players. I can tell that either tonight or
tomorrow, he's gonna
break up with me."
"Ohh." was all Mika could manage to say.
"But I have to admit....he is the best guy I've been with so
far." she said with
satisfaction clearly present in her voice.
"Really?? Tell us about him!! Mika said excitedly.
"Well.........the first thing I just have to tell you guys about is his kiss...."
// At Ling High School \\
Syaoran walked into school, making himself feel calm and collected so
that Sakura
wouldn't know that he's nervous. He walked towards the courtyard where
Tomoyo
usually was. There, he saw Tomoyo talking to Sakura underneath a tree.
Slowly, Syaoran
made his way over to Sakura. Tomoyo noticed Syaoran coming and told
Sakura. She
turned around to see him close by. Sakura stood up and waited for Syaoran,
who was only
a couple of steps away.
"Hey, Sakura." he said.
"Hi, Syaoran." Sakura said, smiling. Before Syaoran could say anything,
she spoke.
"Syaoran, I wanted to...tell you something."
"Yeah? What is it?" he asked, hoping Sakura would just get to the point.
She was about to speak when she remembered something.
"Umm...Tomoyo. I'd like to speak to him alone. Could you leave us for
a few minutes? I
won't be long." she said, trying not to smile.
"Of course. I don't mind. I'll just meet you at your locker in 5 minutes.
I gotta get
something done anyway." Tomoyo said.
"Okay. That's great. Thanks." Sakura said. With that, Tomoyo left, smiling
to herself.
Sakura turned her attention back to Syaoran. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay." Syaoran said.
"Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to your party.
I had fun, made
new friends, and I found out a lot of things."
"Really? Like what?"
"I found out that people are naive and never realize the truth until
they get hurt." Sakura
said. Syaoran was confused. Sakura looked at him and shook her
head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, that was a stupid thing to say." she said, turning her
back to him.
"No, no. It wasn't stupid. You just said that because of the unfortunate
event that
happened with you and Blake." he said, placing a comforting hand on
her shoulder.
Sakura turned back around, looking him in the eye.
"Yeah, I guess so." she said. "I also found out that no matter how well
you think you
know a person, you'll always find out that you never really knew them
as well as you
thought you did. That person will deceive you and you won't know it
until it's too late."
Syaoran was still a bit confused by what she was saying. Suddenly, Sakura
became...spiritual.
"I see..." was all Syaoran managed to say. Sakura smiled at him.
"Thanks for listening to me." she said.
"No problem." he said, hiding his disappointment. Suddenly, he felt
Sakura's arms wrap
around him in a warm embrace. A smile suddenly appeared on Syaoran's
face. He
couldn't believe that she was hugging him.
"Thanks again." she said after releasing him from their embrace.
"Like I said, it's no problem. I'm always here." he said with a warm
smile. They stood
there, staring each other for a moment. Sakura cleared her throat.
"Well, I gotta go now. I guess I'll talk to you later." she said.
"Okay then." he said, snapping himself back to reality.
"Bye." she said as she walked away.
"Bye." he said. After she left, he walked away with an unusual feeling
inside him; a
feeling he had never felt before. For some reason, he just couldn't
help but smile.
// Meanwhile...\\
Sakura walked to her locker to meet up with Tomoyo. When Tomoyo saw
Sakura, she
quickly walked up to her.
"So, Sakura. How'd it go?" Tomoyo asked, unleashing a wicked smile.
"It was perfect. You could tell that he was so confused." Sakura said. Tomoyo giggled.
"Wonderful!" Tomoyo squealed. "And did you hug him like I told you to?"
"Yeah...I did." Sakura said, thinking about that moment. Suddenly, Tomoyo
stopped
squealing and looked at Sakura questioningly. Sakura had a look in
her eye that Tomoyo
had never seen before.
"Uhh...Sakura? Is something wrong?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura didn't respond,
she was
just staring into space. Tomoyo tried again.
" Sakura....are you okay?" she asked while lightly shaking Sakura's shoulder.
"Huh? What? Oh sorry...did you say something?" Sakura said.
"What was that all about? You went all spacey." Tomoyo said.
"I did? Oh, sorry." Sakura said. "When did I do that?"
"You started to get all spacey after you told me that you...hugged...Syaoran.
Oh my god! I
know --exactly-- why you did that!!"
"What?? What are you talking about?" Sakura asked in bewilderment. Tomoyo
smiled
while examining the look Sakura had in her eyes. She recognized that
look. She's seen it
all too many times.
"Sakura...you can't hide it from me." Tomoyo said mischievously. Sakura
began to get
nervous.
"Hide what?" Sakura asked, desperately trying to hide her nervousness.
"I can see it in your eyes."
"See what??"
Tomoyo's lips slowly curled up into a wide grin.
"You like Syaoran!!!"
